Airwars: Airstrikes Reportedly Kill 12-24 Civilians in Mosul, Iraq
------------------------------------------------------------------

In Iraq, heavy fighting continues in west Mosul between the U.S.-backed
Iraqi Army and ISIS militants. The journalistic monitoring group Airwars
says airstrikes launched by either the U.S.-led coalition or the
U.S.-backed Iraqi Air Force reportedly killed between one and two dozen
civilians on Tuesday in the Old City of Mosul. We'll have more on U.S.
airstrikes in Iraq and Syria and the ongoing battle for control of Mosul
later in the broadcast with journalist Anand Gopal.
